Solidification in microgravity

Solidification in microgravity
The TRACE+ experiment investigates the processes and structures involved in the solidification of metallic alloys. This is done by analysing the behaviour of a mixture of organic substances with a solidification process similar to that of a liquid metal. The transparency of the organic alloy made it possible to observe its solidification process directly.
